She was proceeded in death by her father Pat Jennett.
Tammy was born on November 14, 1962 to Patrick and Margaret (Bengford) Jennett in Muscatine, IA. She graduated from Muscatine High School and Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX with a degree in Elementary Education. Tammy moved to Humble, TX in 1983 and was married to Matt Evans on August 1, 1987. Tammy taught kindergarten at Humble Elementary School before returning to Iowa in 1992. She then taught 3rd Grade at Vinton-Shellsburg School district for 10 years before becoming Director of Children’s Ministries at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Marion, IA until retiring in 2017. Tammy’s love for teaching was evident in her daily life. She had a special gift and passion for teaching young children about the “good news” – the love and grace found through Jesus Christ. She was a lifelong teacher to all who knew her, right up through her final moments with us on this earth. Tammy loved the water and cherished many memorable vacations to the beaches, islands, and lakes with her family and friends. She loved to see the world and always used her travels as an opportunity to seek out and admire God’s handy work. After having a family cabin for 3 years, she and Matt recently made the full-time move to a new home on Lake Delhi. She referred to it lovingly as her “piece of peace”. She will be missed immensely by her adoring family and friends. She was tireless in prayer and her pursuit of spreading God’s love to those around her; Tammy lived a servant life dedicated to follow Jesus no matter what. We are thankful and assured knowing that she is now in God’s loving care and free from the pain and suffering of her courageous battle with cancer.
